Lin Zhennan looked at the document handed to him by his son and said curiously:
"Ping'er, this is..."
"Dad, open it and take a look."
"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor decreed:
Over the years, the land has become so vast that it cannot be counted. The ancient sages managed it according to its boundaries.
He knows etiquette when it comes to paying tribute and doing military service..."
It turned out to be an imperial decree. Lin Zhennan's hands were shaking and he couldn't hold it: "Ping'er, where did this imperial decree come from?"
Seeing that his mother was also frightened, Wang Lidong explained in a dumbfounded voice:
"Mom, dad, don't think wrongly. This is what I learned from the emperor.
A specially requested reward."
Lin Zhennan took two puffs of dry cigarette.
Overwhelmed with shock.
"Ping'er, what's going on?"
Thinking of empty words,
Wang Lidong casually waved towards the distance.
They saw a large vase placed next to the corner of the hall, floated to them out of thin air, and then flew back.
Then he fired a 'Cleaning Technique' at both of them.
"Father, Mom, this is why the emperor sent Jilong Mountain to his children as a dojo."
Mom touched the coat on her body and found it was cleaner than washed ones.
After cutting off the hair and cleaning the marrow last time, the couple guessed that Wang Lidong must have worshiped some master as his master.
However, seeing that their son didn't take the initiative to ask, the two of them just endured it and didn't ask.
Unexpectedly, it became more and more mysterious.
Lin Zhennan couldn't hold back this time and asked:
"Ping'er, who did you learn these skills from?"
Wang Lidong waved his hand and pointed to the sky:
"Don't say it, otherwise..."
Mrs. Wang immediately glared at Lin Zhennan and said dissatisfied:
"Master, you ask so clearly what to do,
There must be a reason why Ping'er didn't tell us.
If I could say it, would my son not say it?"
Wang Lidong mentally praised his mother.
What we want is this effect. It's vague, so let the couple figure it out on their own.
"Dad, I will definitely tell you two as soon as I can. That one has a bit of a weird temper."
Lin Zhennan nodded hurriedly.
Then Wang Lidong changed the topic and talked about this trip to the capital.
When I heard that my son used hawthorn pills as elixir and sold them to the emperor, I
Lin Zhennan immediately patted his thigh and said with emotion:
"Ping'er is like me, and he is better than his master, and he can do business better than his father.
I didn’t expect that cutting hair and cleaning marrow can still be sold like this. Once a year is much better than a one-time deal.”
When he heard that Wang Lidong had become the prefect of Rongcheng, Lin Zhennan stood up with excitement, and then kept circling in the hall excitedly, mumbling something to himself.
"Ancestors bless you, ancestors... Madam, we will go back to our old house tomorrow,
Pay homage to our ancestors."
Mrs. Wang was already laughing at this time,
My eyes narrowed to a slit...
"Mom and Dad,
It's okay to go back to my old home, but it's not appropriate to make this matter public right now.
It will take some time for the appointment documents of the prefect to be sent to Rongcheng."
Lin Zhennan smiled and said:
"Don't worry Ping'er, your father is not stupid, he will definitely keep his mouth shut."
He valued this official position more than Wang Lidong. Ever since his son became the county magistrate, when he went to the yamen to do business, both the officials and the servants were obviously very polite to him.
After a while, my son took the position of magistrate. Looking at the entire Rongcheng, who else dared to embarrass Fuwei Escort Agency.
After Wang Lidong told the whole story, the couple felt that the emperor was just like that, not much different from them.
In some aspects, they are not as comfortable as they are.
"Ping'er, why did you choose a deserted island as your dojo? Why not choose Xiyuan, that's where the emperor lives."
Wang Lidong said:
"Dad, if you really choose Xiyuan, you will be in trouble in the future.
There are many dignitaries in the entire capital, and they will definitely come to ask for elixirs.
Will you give it or not when the time comes?
Not giving it would be too offending.
I gave it, what will the emperor say to me?"
Lin Zhennan was feeling pity just now, but when he heard Wang Lidong's explanation, he immediately woke up.
Indeed, the capital city is not a banyan city.
Big shots who can't afford to offend are everywhere.
"Although Jilong Mountain is quite big, it is just a desert island. It is better to choose a smaller fiefdom."
Wang Lidong said:
"If you really want to choose a rich land, the fiefdom will definitely be small and pitiful.
The child can do it with his own money.
There is no one on Jilong Mountain, so think of a way to send some people up there.
We in Fujian Province have a small amount of land and a large number of people, so the land is not enough.
In recent years, Japanese pirates have invaded the border, and many families have been separated from their wives and lost their homes and land.
As long as the sweetness is great enough, I believe there will always be people willing to go."
My mother, Mrs. Wang, said:
"Master, you just want to look at Shu, and you want to take advantage of every advantage. Ping'er made the right choice. Jilong Mountain is a desert island, but the area is large enough, and our family can slowly cultivate it.
If our generation fails, there will be another generation."
Lin Zhennan smiled awkwardly and felt that he was a little greedy.
"Ping'er, how big is this Jilong Mountain?"
Wang Lidong mentally converted the square kilometers of future generations into current units of measurement and said:
"The data registered by the imperial court should be more than 50 million acres."
The two of them were shocked again, which was beyond their expectation.
"How much land is there on this island that can grow food?"
Wang Lidong said:
"The information given by the emperor states that it is approximately 10 million acres."
Lin Zhennan slapped the tea table:
"My son has made a lot of money from this business. If all this land is cultivated, how much food will be produced in a year?"
Originally, Lin Zhennan wanted to open a branch in the two capitals and thirteen provinces in his lifetime.
Suddenly it felt boring.
Wang Lidong had actually wanted to transform the Lin family for a long time.
The risk in the escort business is too high.
The current political situation is stable and business is still profitable.
In a few decades, it will be the end of the dynasty, and there will be chaos everywhere, and the business of the escort agency will definitely not be able to continue.
"Father, Mom, my son is still busy with the Yamen affairs. This Jilongshan matter will only bother you two elders."
Lin Zhennan hesitated and said:
"But the escort agency has so many things to do, what if..."
My mother tried to persuade her: "Sir, as long as we don't open a new branch, the escort bureau doesn't have much to do at ordinary times. Xiao Guicao can just go with it."
"Then just listen to Madam."
After seeing his father agree, Wang Lidong breathed a sigh of relief and finally found someone to take over the responsibility.
The couple was only in their forties. In later generations, when they were in their prime, they were cut off and purified, and lived to be a hundred years old. That was a safe place.
Then the family discussed the preliminary plan. After Wang Lidong left a banknote of 200,000 taels, he went back to Linhai County.
............................
Linhai County Government
As soon as he returned to the county government office, Wang Lidong met an unexpected person.
This was the first time he saw Yue Buqun, who had five long beards under his chin, a face like a crown of jade, and a look of uprightness.
"Master Yue...father-in-law,"
Wang Lidong hurriedly stepped forward to salute and invited the future Master Taishan into the small garden.
Yue Buqun also met his future son-in-law for the first time.
For a moment, I felt that my daughter was not worthy of her.
However, this thought was immediately kicked out of his mind.
After entering the small garden, Yue Buqun, accompanied by Wang Lidong, visited his residence.
"Pingzhi, why don't you live in the inner house? It's a bit small here."
"Father-in-law, my son-in-law likes a quiet place. And he lives alone, so he doesn't need so many rooms."
Yue Buqun was quite satisfied. Although he felt it was a bit simple, he didn't find any intercourse girls, which was good.
Wang Lidong personally made a cup of tea for his father-in-law, and then the two of them started chatting.
